Chicago police superintendent Eddie Johnson responded to Donald Trump's criticism of safety in the city after he sat out Trump’s speech to a national convention of police officers that was being held in the city while protests against the president's visit took place on the streets. Donald Trump said the police chief 'could learn something' from the event, but in a statement published after the event, the Chicago police chief said the city was leading the way on lowering crime and that he would not get 'caught up in negativity.'
